WASHINGTON - The top U.S. Marine commander in Iraq said Friday that U.S. intelligence was "simply wrong" in its assessment that Saddam Hussein intended to unleash chemical or biological weapons against U.S. forces during the war, but he stopped short of saying there was an overall intelligence failure.

Oops! Our bad.

Things are starting to look very, very bad for the Bush administration.

I found this article today:

Time wrote:
Current and former U.S. officials have begun to question whether the weapons will ever be found in anything like the quantities the U.S. suggested before the war — if found at all — and whether the U.S. gamed the intelligence to justify the invasion.


What happens when the U.S. doesn't find any weapons of mass destruction?

Time wrote:
After dispatching dozens of G.I. patrols to some 300 suspected WMD sites in Iraq over the past two months, only to come up empty-handed, the Pentagon announced last week that it will shift from hunting for banned weapons to hunting for documents and people who might be able to say where banned weapons are — or were.


Of course.

And George Dubya is losing ground on his bid for re-election.

Dubya will get re-elected if the economy bounces back.

If he losses the election the main factor will not be what ever is uncovered in the Iraq conflict. It will be whether or not the stock market can make a solid comeback.

It's all about money.

Capitalism.

The sad part is that most people only watch their local news. I have not seen any news reports about this fake war. Damned republicans are keeping this thing off the media. The only way to get people talking about shit is to saturate TV programing with news reports. Let's hope that whoever runs against Bush will take advantage of all this shit. Let's hope the candidate uses finger puppets to spoon-feed this information to this stupid country.

This will become Michael Moore's main priority once the presidential election nears. His new film/documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, will attempt to get the word out.

He's a perfect tool now, since he made an "ass" out of himself during the Oscars and he has everyone in suspense wondering what he'll say or do next.

It was all part of his plan.

only if the economy bounces back by then will he get re-elected. it's also politics. the democrats are in charge of congress, and they will make sure that this does not happen. they want a democrat president to get their agenda across. the same would be the same with a republican congress and a democrat president, so don't try to disagree because neither side will want to work with the other. they will say they do, but "the other guy" won't want to.

I thought that the Republican party won the majority of seats in Congress?

they did, but they don't have enough to get the majority 2/3 vote. they are dependent on the democrats on that. so in a matter of view, the democrats are in control
